If by any chance you remember me:
my embrace,
my smile,
The love we made,
The smell of my skin,
The secrets we shared,
Promises made,
The way we held hands,
Then know this;
It was all but a dream!
For you were too blind,
I just too young,
You were just greedy,
And I of course needy.
Needy for something that could never be!
In my mind I would think of how it should, In reality I was shown that it never could!
But most importantly...
In my heart I knew that it just simply put, Never Would Be!

'never would be' in your well penned poem the 'subtle flame' of these last words enlightens everything.. Life is a whole of positive and negative experiences (plus the neutral ones.. but they don't count..) . The negatives ones, usually prevail. But all of them mold who we are.. Thanks for sharing, Margarita
Great poem, Margarita! Reminds me of the love I let slip away, only to ache still to this day.
Thank you Scotty! I think we've all let love slip away at least once in our lives. Take care of yourself!
Love should not have to be this tricky...but it often is. Thanks, Margarita

Love is a spiritual experience that affects all and sundry profoundly. It is however, whimsical and temperamental, appearing without notice and may leave without warning if not carefully nurtured at all time to maintain its bliss. A well articulated love poem insightfully penned with conviction. A lovely poem indeed. Thanks for sharing Margarita. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.
